Again -- nicely reasoned!
I've admitted previously that I have a problem with my definitions. The only reason for this is that I have to have a means of referring to rotation which does not bring Allen charging out to defend his private definition. The method I chose was to look at the energy of a rotating body.

 Paul said. HIS QUESTION CONCERNED . ' that energy which exists in a body rotating -- note, NOT revolving or otherwise translating. The energy which would be present if it were the only body in the universe. The energy which would be demonstrable without reference to any other body. "
 
good question to think about.  I said before as a quick answer, that the energy was kinetic in the flywheel... means the energy due to momentum or motion, and I would assume it is also with respect to angular momentum of the flywheel.
 
However your last phrase, "The energy which would be demonstrable without reference to any other body." gives me pause.  No kinetic energy is self existent..  Relativity or the relative motions between one body and another are necessary for a measurement.
 
We could say that even kinetic energy is potential energy.  We even have the problem of absolute space..A moving body has kinetic energy.. a bullet..  but if a bullet is fired in the opposite direction  of the earths motion, then is the kinetic energy in the bullet, or do I fly into the bullet..  Its our old problem of what is absolutely non moving... an impossible question. been here before..
 
But your flywheel rotating body has energy relative to the space it occupies.. but if it is all alone if it cannot be referenced to another object, even air or space itself, to slow it down.. Is it then nonexistent ... no..  i think not.  The body will experience the centrifugal stress within its own substance as it spins..  this is the flywheel force I keep mentioning, which proves to itself that it is rotating, (spinning for Allen)  Parts can fatigue, and react against gravity to do work within itself as atoms move around. even fly off into space, if the speed of rotation was fast enough .. 
 
Lets keep in mind all energy is only energy if it has the potential to do work..  REAMS OF PHILOSOPHY HAVE BEN WRITTEN ABOUT THAT ONE WORD ENERGY...Is heat energy? What is energy..  ?   they say a rock on the cliffs edge has potential energy... So "energy" is not a substance. Its a potential!  a state between two positions, or two conditions. I have an old steam book pre 20th or early 1900's that puts the truth of energy in perspective..

Thank you for your response. It indicates among other things that I have something (many things?) to learn about terminology. I've found a new and interesting site which I think might help me -- assuming I can get my rapidly 'addling' (present tense of addled) brain to cooperate. It is http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html.
 
The angular momentum -- I think I may have the wrong term -- which I am referring to is that energy which exists in a body rotating -- note, NOT revolving or otherwise translating. The energy which would be present if it were the only body in the universe. The energy which would be demonstrable without reference to any other body.
 
If you re-examine my illustration in that light, you may wish to modify your response.
 
Regarding the poles as depicted in that part of my illustration which you have included here. I know it's a stretch but I meant literally what I depicted. The poles are indeed the 'ends' of the axis of rotation and the axis of rotation is indeed in the plane of the orbit. It closely resembles the orientation of Uranus in its orbit. This puts the equatorial plane orthogonal to its ecliptic ie the plane of its orbit.
 
Please do re-evaluate -- I need your understanding.

well yes it has two elements of angular momentum..  One due to the orbital motion, and one due to its angular rotation around its own axial centre..   As my first answer was.. 

 

 

the answer is the same for diagram B..  The angular momentum of an object still has two elements...  one with respect to its own centre axis, and one with respect to the primary centre.

 

However I have difficulty still with your terminology..  Poles generally refers to the opposite ends of the axis of rotation. In B you seem to have the poles shifted to the plane of the orbit, which now makes these the equator. and the rotation is still vertical to plane of the orbit, which make for new poles, to and bottom. and a new equator.. 

 

I did tell you I have difficulty reading static diagrams of a dynamic system.

re Moon Rotation -- From Paul Deema Thu Nov 27 01:37:59 2008 (Attachment ThreeObjects.png) addressed to Allen D.
I recall your oft stated difficulty visualising physical motions, moving mechanisms et al, but regardless, I am interested in your take on the questions included in the illustration. Allen of course has a vested interest in simply pronouncing my offerings as "Your post is nonsense!" but I believe that you may well be able to see what I am getting at.
Would you comment please?
